Batch History

In order to keep my sanity, I needed an easy way for me to keep track of the batches that I brewed.

Why? It’s nice to be able to reference the number of beers I’ve brewed, and see at a glance what I thought of each of these beers.

Since I’m also running this site, I thought why not track those batches as part of this blog. It’s a win / win… I maintain the list, and share it with my readers.

What Are We Drinking Now?

Batches

Batch	Beer	Style	Process	Rating	Notes
1	Cherry Wheat	American Wheat Ale	Extract		Not bad for my first beer. Artificial cherry flavoring has to go.
2	Mixed Grain Cream Ale	Cream Ale	Extract		While drinkable, got some bad information from the LHBS on adding mixed grains for flavor. Would not do that again.
3	Blue Moon Clone	American Wheat Ale	Extract		A good beer that tasted pretty close to a Blue Moon. First time I kegged.
4	Mango Wheat	American Wheat Ale	Partial Mash		A disaster. Not really sure what happened, but this one was dumped.
5	Great Pumpkin Special	American Brown Ale	All Grain		My first all grain. Used a pre-made recipe from my LHBS and turned out pretty good.
6	Centennial Blonde Ale	Blonde Ale	All Grain		Favorite beer to date. All in all, a great crushable beer.
7	Cascade Pale Ale	American Pale Ale	BrewGround	N/A	Playing around with Cascade hops.
8	Brulospher Best Blonde Ale	Blonde Ale	All Grain		A pretty decent Blonde Ale, but I prefer batch #6.
9	Amarillo Wheat Ale	American Wheat Ale	All Grain		A single hopped Wheat that was pretty tasty. Would add some additional hops next time for more character.
10	Kirkland Cider	Cider	N/A		My first cider, and not a bad one at that.
11	Citradelic Pale Ale	American Pale Ale	BrewGround	N/A	A Citra hops BrewGround.
12	Munich Helles	Munich Helles	All Grain		Oh man, did I like this beer. Would brew again and play around with different hop combinations.
13	Mystical Pale Ale	American Pale Ale	BrewGround	N/A	This is what you get with you have no idea what you hopped your beer with. It was meant to be something else.
14	El Dorado Pale Ale	American Pale Ale	BrewGround	N/A	An extract beer using a 15 min boil to showcase El Dorado hops.
15	May The Kolsch Be With You	Kolsch	All Grain		A bit too malty and missing the classic Kolsch taste, but overall not a bad beer. Tweaks will be needed to get me to that Kolsch I love.
16	Belgian Blonde	Belgian Blonde Ale	All Grain		Not a huge Belgian beer fan, but this one's pretty good. Tasting notes of cherry and plum.
17	Lakes Of Milford Lager	Pilsner / Lager	All Grain		A warm fermented lager that's pretty damn tasty. Will make a few tweaks to add some bitterness.
18	Castennial Blonde	Blonde Ale	Extract		A slightly different take on the Centennial Blonde (Batch #6). Fermenting now.
